Holistic approach

Now our last IVF option is up in the air. We've decided to try alternatives. Nothing drastic really. Some holistic ways to improve my body to become fertility-friendly. I have Stage IV endometriosis and haven't been feeling too well after all the meds I've taken for the IVF. I don't think the IVF meds go well with the endo condition. That means my body has reverse effect with IVF. Ugh.

We are not certain if we can get the grant money for the IVF. Even if we did, our share will probably increase to around $8,000. If that's the case, we can't afford it anyway. Only option for us to get pregnant is PRAY!

To start the holistic treatment, I have to give up all animal products (except fish), dairy. Soy products are OK if minimal. Exercise is essential. Acupuncture, reflexology. etc. is a plus.

Things to eat: veggies, seaweed, fish, root veggies,  walnuts, onion

I may post a detailed description of my alternative treatment later. Now I just wanted to mention what I have started. I don't know if it improves my odds, but it's better than being so depressed and feeling sorry for myself.

The springy weather helps too. :-)
